Description

Come join us on February 16th with Professor Andreas Veneris as he gives us a talk focused on introducing certain aspects of blockchain technology centered around the cryptography and algorithms behind blockchain technology. We will begin with an introduction to key cryptographic primitives needed to understand the operation of a blockchain before introducing Bitcoin, a digital ledger built on blockchain technology, and Ethereum, which executes scripts known as smart contracts on a Turing-complete virtual machine with a global shared state stored on the blockchain.
